Common questions from buyers
Straight answers to the questions I hear most often.
What types of properties can you help me buy?
I advise buyers across HDB flats, condominiums, new launches and landed homes in Singapore, including terrace, semi-detached, detached and Good Class Bungalow searches.
Do I need to pay a fee as a buyer?
Buyer-agent commissions vary by transaction type and can be discussed directly. I will explain how fees work for your specific situation before you commit to anything.
Is Derek suitable for first-time buyers?
Yes. First-time buyers make up a large part of my work. I walk you through eligibility, CPF, grants, loan options and the viewing process step by step.
Can you help with new launches?
Yes. I help with showflat previews, unit selection, floorplan and unit-stack analysis, and developer pricing sheets — without the hard sell.
What is the difference between buying HDB and private property?
HDB purchases involve eligibility rules, grants, a Minimum Occupation Period and a 99-year lease. Private property has fewer ownership restrictions and different financing, stamp duty and tenure structures. The right choice depends on your budget, timeline and long-term plans.
How do I start the process?
Send a WhatsApp message or call. We begin with a discovery call to understand your goals, then build a clear plan and shortlist from there.
